Cruise Line UnCruise Adventures
Ship Wilderness Legacy
Destination Alaska & Canada West
Brief Description 7 night expedition cruise sailing from Juneau roundtrip aboard Wilderness Legacy.
Type of Cruise Expedition
Departure Date 04 Sep 2027
Cruise Description Wild, Woolly, and Wow with Glacier Bay offers the quintessential UnCruise experience. You will sail on our largest vessel, the Wilderness Legacy. This is the most active expedition cruise we offer and allows you to truly dive into Alaska's backcountry. From bushwhacking through Tongass National Forest to kayaking in Glacier Bay National Park, you will be nothing short of "wowed" on this itinerary.

Included Highlights:
- Hike and kayak in Thomas Bay, land of the Kushtaka
- Opportunities to hike, bushwhack, paddle board, and take skiff rides
- Search for humpback whales, orca, seals, bears, and more
- Explore the isolated LeConte Glacier (no mega ships here!)

Day 1: Juneau, Alaska Embarkation
After a day of exploring Alaska’s Capital City of Juneau, you'll board the Wilderness Legacy just in time for a welcome cocktail or glass of Champagne before dinner. The captain and crew will introduce themselves and provide an overview of the adventure that awaits this week with a kick-off toast! Listen for the whistles as the Wilderness Legacy departs. These horns and whistles come from Captain Dan’s family collection…video on!

Meals included: dinner

Day 2: The Brothers, Robert & Crow Islands: Skiff, Hikes, Whales
Today, you will visit Robert and Crow Islands, offering everything from bushwhack hikes and shoreline walks to kayaking and possible snorkeling. Another option is the Brothers Islands, best explored by water, where skiff rides and paddles can bring you close to lively sea lion haul-outs. You will search for other types of wildlife throughout the day, including whales.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 3: LeConte Glacier
Enjoy LeConte Glacier, noted as the southernmost tidewater glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, and an awe-inspiring landscape. Guests witness the glacier's imposing beauty up close, a highlight of the Alaskan wilderness. Realize there are no mega ships at this most amazing glacier, as they are much too LARGE to enter the shallow entrance to this magical wilderness fjord. We will spend most of our day here, exploring by kayak or small boat. We may even have a chance to go ashore and frolic amongst icebergs stranded on the beach.

Day 4: Thomas Bay, Land of Kushtaka
Mist hangs in the air. The soft exhale of a whale wakes you from your well-deserved slumber. The anchor drops into the milky blue waters of Thomas Bay as the summer sun cuts through the mist and the fog lifts. You hear it before you see it – a profound amount of water cuts through the forest in a series of waterfalls known as Cascade Creek. This is a favorite location for crew one of the very few accessible trails in Southeast Alaska. Not to be missed, we have a level of hiking challenge to suit any skill level. After your foray into the woods, head back to the Legacy for a hearty meal as the boat repositions to the other side of Thomas Bay for new adventures. Water access is unmatched here, a kayak to a salmon run or skiff tour in search of bears wraps up your day.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 5: Whale Watching & Kuiu Island
The west side of Kuiu Island is our playground for the day. We’re in black-bear country now and Kuiu Island plays host to the densest population of the iconic species on the planet. Tucked into a Bay, the waters are calm and filled with the smallest marine mammal on earth – the sea otter. Rafts of otters float by – unperturbed by our presence, and about as cute as one might imagine them to be. Humpback whales patrol the reefs in search of schools of herring – resident bubble-netters are a rare and exciting sight. The cold, nutrient rich waters provide opportunity not just for above-water activities. Try your hand at a snorkel (we have the warmest wetsuits known to man, fear not) and unlock an entire universe of discovery as you peruse the most diverse population of sea-stars on earth – a surprise to many who visit this place. For just a moment, the cold water is forgotten as you’re transported into what can only be described as a “cold water tropical reef. The Pacific transforms into the wildest touch-tank you can imagine.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 6: Brown Bear Search Near the Shores of Chichagof Island
Seek out the elusive Coastal Brown Bear along this rugged coastline. The East side of Chichagof Island includes three specific areas that have exceptionally good opportunities for sighting these wonderful creatures. Your Captain will use his knowledge to put you in the best spot, which changes regularly. This day may include the opportunity for hikes ashore, kayaking, skiff rides and hopefully watching brown bears from all our small boats and kayaks. The bear population is abundant in this area. The day concludes as we get underway, and guests share their experiences and photos with fellow travelers.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 7: Glacier Bay National Park's Rarely Visited Outer Bay
This national park covers 3.3 million acres (that’s a tad smaller than the state of Connecticut). Let that sink in. Most visitors see the same sliver of the park as everyone else. Not you. You’re going the furthest and exploring parts that 99% of visitors never go to. Hike the outwash field of glaciers winding down the Fairweather Mountain Range. The cool breeze off the nearby snow and icefields is energizing. As the day winds down, it's time for Captain's Dinner. But that's not all – you'll also get to watch a slideshow of all the amazing things you've done this week.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 8: Juneau, Alaska Disembarkation
Welcome back to Juneau. Enjoy your last breakfast aboard. Check every nook and cranny of your cabin and say farewell to the crew as we disembark, get that last family photo and wave goodbye until next time.

Meals included: breakfast
